QUESTION 1 You are the cluster administrator for your company. The company wants its file services to be
highly available. You need to evenly migrate all of the data on 10 dedicated file servers across an active/active
cluster. The old servers will be deployed throughout the network for various noncritical functions.
Many users have mapped drives an embedded UNIC references to the existing servers name and share names.
You need to ensure that those existing connections
continue to function properly after the migration.
The cluster is configured to have three disk groups. Cluster group, Disk group 1, and Disk group 2. You have
created File Share resources in the appropriate disk
groups by using the existing share names. You want to redirect user access to the new Server cluster without
changing the settings on the user's computers.
What should you do?
A. For the Cluster group, create 10 IP Address resources and 10 Network Name resources that use the original
service names.
Rename the old servers.
B. For Disk group1, create one IP Address resource and five Network Name resources that use the original
Server names.
For Disk group2, create one IP Address resource and five Network Name resources that use the original Server
names.
Rename the old servers.
C. For Disk group1, create one IP Address resource and five Network Name resources that use the original
Server names.
For Disk group2, create one IP Address resource and five Network Name resources that use the original Server
names.
Change the IP Addresses on the old servers.
D. For the Cluster group, create 10 IP Address resources that have the same IP addresses as the original servers.
For Disk group1, create Network Name resources that have unique names.
For Disk group2, create Network Name resources that have unique names.
Change the IP Addresses on the old servers.
Answer: B
Explanation: To ensure that users can still use their old settings with the new Server cluster it is important that
the new disk groups IP Addresses resource and Network Name resources use the original server name. Then the
old servers need to be renamed.
Incorrect answers:
A. To ensure that the file service is highly available you must create at least 2 disk groups and not just provide
the Cluster group with 10 IP address resources and 10
Network Name resources.
C. To ensure there are no problems with the new cluster, the old servers we need to be renamed and not just
have their IP addresses changed.
D. To ensure there are no problems with the new cluster, the old servers we need to be renamed and not just
have their IP addresses changed.

QUESTION 2 You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. The cluster provides file
and print share resources for your company. You add 350 cluster File Share resources to support a new research
project.
After adding the resources, you decide to test the cluster for failover. During the test, the users of the new shares
are denied access to their files after failover.
You need to ensure that users can access the shares after failover.
What should you do?
A. Use Windows Explorer to reassign share-level permissions.
B. Use the cluster administrator to reassign share-level permissions.
C. Use dynamic file shares to remove and then re-create the cluster File Share resources.
D. In the Advanced File Share Properties dialog box, clear the Hide subdirectory shares check box.
Answer: B
Explanation: In order for users to access the shares after a failover the share-level permissions must be
reassigned. In order to change the share-level permissions you will
need to do so from the cluster administrator account.
Incorrect answers:
A. Windows Explorer does not have the required permissions to reassign share-level permissions.
C. Dynamic file shares is not one of the three File Share resources types: basic, share subdirectories, and DFS
root.
E. This action will not have the desired effect.

QUESTION 3 You are the administrator of a new Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. You want to
configure the cluster to support both DHCP service resource and a WINS service resource. You create a
Services Resource group. The group contains the resources shown in the following table.
DHCP Service resource
WINS Service resource
Physical Disk resource
IP Address resource
The services resource group fails when you try to bring it online.
What should you do to bring the group online?
A. Add a Network Name resource to the Services Resource group.
B. Add one Generic Service resource to the Services Resource group.
C. Add a second IP Address resource to the Services Resource group.
D. Add two Generic Service resources to the Services Resource group.
Answer: A
Explanation: Whenever you create a resource on a cluster you need to include a Network Name resource. The
Network Name resource is used to assign a name to a
resource.
Incorrect answers:
B. The Generic Service resource is used to support a cluster-unaware service and to provide basic cluster
functionality.
C. A second IP Address Resource will not allow the group online.
D. Two Generic Service resources will not allow the group to come online.

QUESTION 4 You are the Cluster Administrator for your company. You need to create a new cluster. First,
you install and configure the cluster storage. Next, you configure two network adapters each in two Windows
2000 Advanced Server computers named Server1 and Server2. Server1 and Server2 are member servers in
Windows 2000 domain and will be configured as cluster nodes.
On Server1, you create a local cluster named Cluster Account. You enable the User cannot change password
option. You place the Cluster Account user in the
Administrators group. You assign the necessary rights to the Cluster Account user. You install the Cluster
service on Server1. You specify the Cluster Account user as
the account under which the Cluster service will run. You install the Cluster service on Server2, specifying the
same user name and password as you did for Server1.
You receive an error message stating that the Server cannot join the cluster. You want to ensure that Server2
can join the cluster.
What should you do?
A. For the Cluster Account user on Server1, enable the Password never expires option.
B. Create a domain user under which the Cluster service will run on Server1 and Server2.
C. For the Cluster Account user on Server1, disable the User cannot change password option.
D. Add the Cluster Account user on Server1 to the Administrators group on Server2. On Server2, assign the
necessary rights to the Cluster Account.
Answer: B
Explanation: In order of Cluster Service to run it requires a domain user account under which the Cluster
Service can run. In this question the Cluster account was created as a local account and not a domain account.
Incorrect answers:
A. It is recommended that the Password never expires option is selected but it is not required. When you do no
select this option you must ensure that you renew the
password and update the cluster service configuration on each node before the passwords expires.
C. Microsoft recommends that the Cluster user account have the User cannot change password selected.
D. The Cluster user account must be a domain user account. Adding the Cluster Account user on Server1 to the
Administrators group on Server2. On Server2, assign the
necessary rights to the Cluster Account will not correct the problem.

QUESTION 5 You are the administrator of Windows 2000 Advanced Server computer. You need to prepare
the Server for use as a cluster node. The Server contains a SCSI controller and three internal 4.3 GB hard disks.
You plan to attach the Server to an external storage subsystem that contains eight 18.3-GB hard disks. You
connect the three 4.3-GB hard disks to the SCSI controller's internal connector. Next, you connect the external
storage subsystem to the SCSI controller's external connector. When you start the Server, you receive numerous
BIOS error messages that indicate errors on the SCSI bus.
Before installing the Cluster service, you need to be able to access the internal and external disks attached to the
Server.
What should you do?
A. Replace the SCSI controller.
B. Replace the external SCSI cable.
C. Set the SCSI ID to 6.
D. Install an additional SCSI controller in the Server.
Connect the external drive array to the new controller's external connector.
E. Disable the on-board SCSI termination on the SCSI controller.
F. Connect a SCSI terminator to the SCSI-out connector on the external storage subsystem.
Answer: D
Explanation: When you use SCSI hardware in a cluster there is a requirement for two SCSI adapter cards. One
card for the internal disks and one for the external disk
Incorrect answers:
A. If you replaced the SCSI controller and still connect internal and external drives the same problem will still
exist.
B. As the errors are in the BIOS the problem could not be related to the external SCSI cable.
C. Each SCSI device will require it's own SCSI ID and changing just one of them will not achieve the desired
result.
E. The on-board SCSI termination on the SCSI controller only needs to be disabled when you terminate
externally.
F. As the errors are in the BIOS the problem could not be corrected by connecting an external SCSI terminator.

QUESTION 6 You are the cluster administrator for your company. You need to configure the two Windows
2000 Advanced Server computers for cluster nodes. You need to implement fault-tolerance methods for the
local storage. You also need to implement fault-tolerance methods for the external storage subsystem.
Each Server contains two 9.3 GB hard disks. The external storage subsystem contains eight 10-GB hard disks.
You need to ensure that the cluster can tolerate the failure of a single hard disk in either Server and in the
external storage subsystem.
Which two fault-tolerance methods should you use?
A. Configure the hard disks in each Server as Windows 2000 striped volumes.
B. Configure the hard disks in each Server as Windows 2000 RAID 5 volumes.
C. Configure the hard disks in each Server as Windows 2000 mirrored volumes.
D. Configure the hard disks in the external storage subsystem to use a hardware RAID 5 array.
E. Configure the hard disks in the external storage subsystem as Windows 2000 striped volumes.
F. Configure the hard disks in the external storage subsystem as Windows 2000 RAID 5 volumes.
Answer: C, D
Explanation: In order to provide fault tolerance to the internal disk drives they will need to be configured as
mirrored volumes. With mirrored volumes when data is saved it is written on both drives. To offer the best fault
tolerance to the external storages device RAID 5 is the best but this is done at the expense of performance.
Incorrect answers:
A. Stripped volumes do not provide fault tolerance.
B. RAID 5 requires at least 3 disks to function. There are only two internal disks.
E. Clustering service does not support the software implementation of RAID. RAID needs to be implemented at
the hardware level.
F. Clustering service does not support the software implementation of RAID. RAID needs to be implemented at
the hardware level.
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advance Server Clustering Services Training Kit, pages 46-48.
QUESTION 7 You are the administrator of two Windows 2000 Advanced Server computers named Server1
and Server2. You install two network adapters in each Server and then connect them as shown in the following
diagram.
You turn off Server2 and begin installing the Cluster service on server1. In the Cluster service Configuration
wizard, you designate Client access only for Adapter 1B. the wizard does not allow you to configure Adapter
1A, however. You verify that the crossover cable between Adapter 1A and Adapter 2A is connected properly.
You need to designate Internal cluster communications only for Adapter 1A.
What should you do?
A. Start Server2, and enter the BIOS setup screen.
Run the Cluster Service Configuration Wizard on Server1.
Designate Adapter 1A for Internal cluster communications only.
B. Start Server2, and start Windows 2000 Advanced Server, but do not log on.
Run the Cluster Service Configuration Wizard on Server1.
Designate Adapter 1A for Internal cluster communications only.
C. Disconnect crossover cable from Adapter 1A.
Run the Cluster Service Configuration Wizard on Server1.
Designate Adapter 1A for Internal cluster communications only.
Connect the crossover cable to Adapter 1A.
D. Disconnect crossover cable from Adapter 1A.
Run the Cluster Service Configuration Wizard on Server1.
Designate Adapter 1A for All communications.
Connect the crossover cable to Adapter 1A.
Use the Cluster administrator to designate Adapter 1A for Internal cluster communications only.
Answer: A
Explanation: As a Windows 2000 Media sense prevents you from configuring Adapter 1A. There are two ways
to resolve this problem: during the cluster installation, the other node must be booted but stopped at the Boot
menu so that there is power to the network adapter but it does not have write access to the shared disks or edit
the registry.
Incorrect answers:
B. Server 2 had to be stopped at the boot menu. By allowing Server 2 to boot fully you are likely causing more
problems and not fixing any.
C. Even with the crossover cable disconnected, Media sense will consider the adapter down. Therefore you will
not be able to configure it.
D. Even with the crossover cable disconnected, Media sense will consider the adapter down. Therefore you will
not be able to configure it.

manage resources (add/remove and bring on/offline).
Incorrect answers:
A. As you only granted the Nodes Operation group permissions to administer the cluster they are not able to
change the location of the log file.
D. As you only granted the Nodes Operation group permissions to administer the cluster they are not able to
stop and start the Cluster service.
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advance Server Clustering Services Training Kit, pages 86-90.
QUESTION 9 You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. The cluster consists of
two nodes that are designated NodeA and NodeB. You configure several groups and resources, but you cannot
bring any of the Network Name resources online.
Windows 2000 is installed in the default location on both NodeA and NodeB, and the Quorum resource is
located on logical drive Q in the default path. You attempt to
view the log of cluster activity, but the log does not appear. You want to be able to review as much detail of the
cluster activity as possible so that you can identify the problem.
What should you do?
A. Increase the size of quorum log.
B. Increase the size of the System event log.
C. Configure the Application event log to not overwrite events.
D. On both nodes, configure a system environment variable named Cluster Log with a value of
C:\winnt\cluster\cluster.log.
Answer: A
Explanation: By default, the Quorum log file size is set to 64 KB. When the log is full it is reset. By increasing
the log file on one node, it will automatically take effect on the
other node.
Incorrect answers:
B. The System event log does not contain a copy of the Quorum log file nor does it contain cluster activity. This
will not allow you to see as much detail as possible of the
cluster activity.
C. The Application event log cannot overwrite cluster activity.
D. The cluster log is enabled by default and could not be causing the problem.

QUESTION 10 You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. The cluster contains
two nodes that are designated NodeA and NodeB. A third Windows 2000 Server computer on your network is
named BackupSvr. You need to implement a disaster recovery plan. You decide to use Windows 2000 Backup
to perform the backup operations.
You want to accomplish the following goals:
Backup the 80-GB cluster storage subsystem to a single tape daily.
Complete the backup even if a single node of the cluster fails.
Backup the cluster information databases on NodeA and NodeB daily.
Your company uses 100-GB tape drives and 30-GB tape drives. You need to decide which tape drive you will
use for the backups. You need to use the smallest possible
tape drives for NodeA, NodeB and BackupSvr. You can attach up to two tape drives to each Server.
To answer click the Select and Place button. Drag the appropriate tape drives to appropriate answers.
Answer:
Explanation: As the cluster information databases on NodeA and NodeB will not be that large a 30 GB tape
drive will suffice. Each node requires its own tape drive in case one of the nodes fails. In addition, in order to
backup the 80 GB cluster storage subsystem to one tape then the 100 GB tape drive is required.
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advance Server Clustering Services Training Kit, pages 237-244.

QUESTION 14 You are the Cluster Administrator for your company. You need to create a cluster that consists
of two Windows 2000 Advanced Server computers that are designated NodeA and NodeB. Your network
infrastructure includes Windows 2000 WINS servers, Windows 2000 DNS servers that have dynamic updates
enabled for all zones and Windows 2000 DHCP servers that have client DNS registration enabled. Client
computers in the network include Windows 2000 computers, Windows NT Workstation 4.0 computers and
Windows 95 computers. These client computers are dispersed over multiple subnets. All of the client computers
receive DNS and WINS Server assignments by using DHCP and do not require additional manual
configuration. All of the Administrators on the network use Windows 2000 client
computers. You want the cluster to provide high availability for a cluster-aware Windows sockets application
and for file shares.
For each service you configure a resource group that contains a Network Name resource. You manually
configure the IP address, the subnet mask and the default gateway TCP/IP properties on NodeA and NodeB.
You install the cluster service on NodeA and NodeB. After the installation, none of the users can connect to any
of the virtual servers by name. You want to accomplish the following goals regardless of which node owns the
resources.
Provide the ability to administer the cluster remotely by using the cluster name.
Enable all of the users to access the Windows sockets application by using a virtual Server name.

QUESTION 15 You are the Cluster Administrator for your company. You need to install the Cluster service on
two servers named Server1 and Server2. Both servers have one network adapter that is attached to the company
LAN and a second network adapter that is attached to a private cluster network, as shown in the exhibit. (Click
the exhibit button.)
During the installation of cluster service on S rver1, you provide an IP address for the cluster and receive the
following error message:
How should you configure the IP address for the cluster?
A. Configure the IP address for the cluster to be 127.0.0.1.
B. Configure the Server1 and Server2 to be DHCP client computers prior to cluster installation.
C. Configure the IP address for the cluster to be unique IP address on the 10.0.5.0 subnet.
D. Configure the IP address for the cluster to be a unique IP address on the 192.168.5.0 subnet.
Answer: D
Explanation: It is very important that the cluster receive a unique IP address. As you were configuring an IP
address for the cluster it can be assumed that you were configuring the Public Cluster Connection. As this is the
Public Cluster Connection, it will require a public IP address. Therefore, the IP address should be in the
192.168.5.0 subnet.
Incorrect answers:
A. This is the IP address of the local loop back. It cannot be used as a valid IP address.
B. It is highly recommended that a cluster have a static IP address. DHCP servers are not a valid solution.
C. The public cluster connection should not have a private IP address.

QUESTION 16 You are the Cluster Administrator for your company. You create a file and print cluster. The
cluster contains two nodes that are designated NodeA and NodeB. Both nodes are directly connected to a SCSI
storage enclosure.
The cluster is configured to have five disk groups. All five-disk groups are online on NodeA, and none of the
disk groups have errors. You decide to test failover. When
you shut down NodeA, you cannot access the cluster storage form NodeB. You want to ensure that you can
access the cluster storage from one node when the other node is shut down.
What should you do?
A. Enable passive termination on the SCSI bus.
B. Configure all of the cluster groups to allow immediate failback.
C. Attach a Y cable and a terminator to the SCSI adapter in each node.
D. Attach a Y cable and a terminator to each SCSI storage enclosure connection.
Answer: C
Explanation: As with as SCSI devices it is important to ensure that each end of the SCSI chain. In this case it
would be best to attach a Y cable to each adapter. One part of the cable would attach to the device and the other
would be terminated. This would ensure access to the cluster storage from one node when the other node is
down.
Incorrect answers:
A. Passive termination would achieve the desired effect.
B. Failback would not allow access to the storage devices without proper termination.
D. The termination must be off the SCSI adapter on each node.

QUESTION 17 You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. The cluster nodes are
two member servers that are designated NodeA and NodeB. The cluster hosts an application named Invoice that
is used by the finance department. Invoice runs on a virtual Server named InvServer.
The Generic Application resource for Invoice is a member of a resource group named Invoice Group. The
resources in the Invoice Group and their dependencies are shown in the following table:
The Admin Share resource is used only once per week, to perform backup of the invoice data files. Currently,
the Invoice application fails over when the Admin share resource is not available or when the Admin Share
resource fails.
You need to configure the resources in the Invoice Group so that invoice will remain on the same node when
the Admin Share resource is not available or when the
Admin Share resource fails.
What two actions should you take? (Choose Two)
A. On the Admin Share resource, set the restart threshold to 0.
B. On the Admin Share resource, disable the Affect the group option.
C. Configure the Administrator Share resource to run in a separate resource monitor.
D. Remove the Admin Share resource from the Invoice App resource dependencies list.
E. Run cluster.exe to set the RetryPeriodOnFailure value of the Invoice App resource lower than the Restart
Period value.
Answer: B, C
Explanation: As you need to configure the group to remain on the same node when the Admin Share is not
available/fails you will need to take two actions. To prevent the
Admin share failure from affecting the group you will need to deselect the Affect the group option. To prevent
one resource from affecting the resources in the group is to
provide that resource with its own resource monitor.
Incorrect answers:
A. The threshold setting is the number of times a resource can be restarted within the specified period. By
setting the threshold to 0 it means that if the resource fails it will
never be restarted and failover immediately.
D. As the Admin Share is required once a week for data backup you should not remove it as a dependency.
E. The RetryPeriodOnFailure is the amount of time that a resource can be failed before it is restarted. The
Restart Period is the amount of time a restart will be attempted. The action suggested above will not achieve the
desired results.

QUESTION 19 You are the administrator of two new computers. You need to configure the computers before
installing Windows 2000 Advanced Server and the Cluster service. You install a new SCSI controller in each
computer. You connect both controllers to an external disk array, which will serve as the cluster storage. The
external disk array contains three hard disks. You start both servers and receive a BIOS message on each
Server. The error message indicates that a device conflict has been detected on the SCSI bus. You need to
correct this error.
What should you do?
A. Change the SCSI ID to 0 on all three hard disks.
B. Change the SCSI ID on one of the SCSI controllers.
C. Add a SCSI bus terminator to the connector on the external disk array.
D. Add a SCSI bus terminator to the connectors on both SCSI controllers.
Answer: B
Explanation: Whenever a SCSI devices are installed their controllers have a default SCSI ID of 7. This would
cause the SCSI device conflict. To correct this conflict you
would need to change the SCSI ID on one of the controllers to something else, such as SCSI ID 6.
Incorrect answers:
A. Changing the SCSI ID on all three hard disk would also cause a conflict.
C. Adding a terminator to the external disk array would not cause the SCSI ID to end.
You would still receive a conflict message.
D. Adding a terminator to the SCSI connectors would not solve the SCSI ID conflict.
You would still receive a conflict message.

QUESTION 20 You are the administrator of two Windows 2000 Advanced Server computers named Server1
and Server2. You need to configure these servers for use as cluster nodes.
Each Server contains two network adapters. Adapter1A and Adapter2A will be designated for Internal cluster
communications only. Adapter1B and Adapter2B
will be designated for All communications.
You need to connect the network adapter so that they provide dedicated network connectivity for internal
cluster communications. You also want to avoid having a single point of failure in the internal cluster
communications.
How should you connect the network adapters?
To answer click the appropriate network diagram in the exhibit.
Answer: DIAGRAM D
Explanation: One of the keys to this question is the fact that Adapter 1B and 2B are designated for all
communications. Thus these adapters must be connected to the
Company LAN. Adapters 1A and 2A need to be connected directly to each other, in this case with a stand-alone
hub.
Incorrect answers:
Diagram A - As Adapters 1B and 2B are designated for all communications a crossover cable will not achieve
this.
Diagram B - As Adapters 1B and 2B are designated for all communications a stand-alone hub will not achieve
this.
Diagram C - As all adapters are connected to Company LAN this diagram does not meet the requirement of a
single point of failure in internal cluster communications.

QUESTION 21 You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. The cluster has a Fiber
Channel cluster storage subsystem that is connected as shown in the exhibit.
Both cluster nodes lose power unexpectedly. When you start both nodes, neither node can access any of the
disks in the cluster storage. You examine the cluster storage subsystem, and it appears to be working properly.
You need to ensure that the servers can access the cluster storage.
What should you do?
A. Reinitialize the Fiber Channel hub.
B. Reinitialize the cluster storage subsystem.
C. Shut down both nodes, the cluster storage subsystem, and the Fiber Channel hub.
Start the Fiber Channel hub and the cluster storage subsystem.
Start both nodes.
D. Shut down both nodes, the cluster storage subsystem, and the Fiber Channel hub.
Start the Fiber Channel hub and both nodes.
Start the cluster storage subsystem.
Answer: C
Explanation: It is important to bring a cluster's resources online before the nodes. As a result, the hub and
storage subsystem will need to be brought back online first and then the nodes.
Incorrect answers:
A. The reinitialization of the hub alone will not ensure that the servers can access the cluster storage.
B. The reinitialization of the cluster storage subsystem alone will not ensure that the servers can access the
cluster storage.
D. Remember the nodes should be restarted after the cluster storage subsystem.

QUESTION 22 You are the Cluster Administrator for your company. You need to configure your company's
cluster of two nodes that are designated NodeA and NodeB. The following groups exist on the cluster:
• Cluster group
• Disk group 1
• Disk group 2
You need to create two dynamic file share resources. The finance department will use one file share named FIN.
The human resources department will use another file
share named HR. Your network infrastructure includes WINS and dynamic DNS.
You want to accomplish the following goals:
• Enable users to connect to the file shares by using a virtual server name
• Ensure the file share to be load balanced, one on NodeA and one on NodeB.
• Ensure that resources that should always be together on the same cluster node will always failover together.
• Ensure that a virtual server name is available for connections only when the associated file share resource is
online.
You take the following actions:
• Create two file share resources in the cluster group
• Create two network name resources in the cluster group
• Configure the file share resources to be dependent on the physical disk resource in the cluster group.
• Configure the network name resources to be dependent on the existing IP address resources in the cluster
group.
Which result or results do these actions produce? (Choose all that apply)
A. Users can connect to the file shares by using a virtual server name
B. File share can be load balanced, one on NodeA and one on NodeB.
C. Resources that should always be together on the same cluster node will always failover together.
D. A virtual server name is available for connections only when the associated file share resource is online.
Answer: A, C
Explanation: By creating a network name resources you enabled users to connect to the file shares using the
virtual server name. In addition, by the actions you took you were able to ensure that resources together on the
same cluster node will always be able to failover together.
Incorrect answers:
A. In order for the file shares to be load balanced some form of static load balancing would have been need to
be configured.
D. In order for the virtual server name to only be available when the associated file share resources is online
there would need to be a dependency between the network name and the file share resource.

QUESTION 23 You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. The cluster provides
file services to your company. You add a print spooler resource to the cluster and configure NodeA to be its
preferred owner. During a scheduled maintenance procedure, you move the printer resources group to NodeB.
After you move the resources group, users report that the Print Spooler resource is no longer available. You
need to ensure that the Print Spooler resource is accessible from both nodes.
What should you do?
A. Copy the printer driver to the shared disk
B. Publish the printer to the Active Directory
C. Install the printer driver to the virtual server on NodeB
D. Configure the port on NodeB to match the port on NodeA.
Answer: C
Explanation: You must install printer drivers on each cluster node when that node is the owner of the spooler
group. In this case the printer driver will need to be installed on the virtual server on Node B.
Incorrect answers:
A. Copying the printer driver to a shared disk does not ensure that the Print Spooler is available to both nodes.
B. Publishing the printer to AD will not make the Printer Spooler available to both nodes.
D. Sharing ports will have no impact on the Printer Spooler.

QUESTION 24 You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. The cluster contains
1,200 file share resources for the home directories of 1,200 users. The name of each file share is the same as the
name of the corresponding home folder. You notice that the cluster service software constantly uses an
unusually high percentage of processing time. You want the cluster service to use less processing time.
What should you do?
A. Use the net.exe command line utility to change each share to a hidden share.
B. Create a new file share resource, and share all of the home folders as subdirectories.
C. Use the cluster.exe command line utility to run each file share resource in a separate resource monitor.
D. Configure the "Is Alive" poll interval of the file share resource type to be equal to the "Look Alive" poll
interval
Answer: B
Explanation: In order to reduce the processing time you should create a file share resource and then share all of
the home folders as subdirectories.
Incorrect answers:
A. Creating hidden shares will not reduce the processing time.
C. You can use the cluster command to do a number of things but running each file share in a separate resource
monitor and have this reduce the processing time is not one of them.
D. Making the "Is alive" poll interval equal to that of "Look Alive" poll interval will not reduce the processing
time.

QUESTION 25 You are the administrator of an existing Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. You want to
add a DHCP Service resource to the cluster. Currently, the cluster uses two of the three available disks. On the
unused disk, you create a new resource group named DHCP Resource to be used by the DHCP Service. You
want to add the DHCP Service resource and its required dependencies to the cluster.
What should you do?
To answer click the Select and Place button and then drag the appropriate resources to the dependency tree in
the correct order. Some resources and slots might not be used. Some resources might be used more than once.
Select and Place
Answer:
Explanation: Dependencies are created when one resource relies on other resources for functionality. If any
resource should fail, so will any resource that depends on the failed resource. Each resource type has its own
dependency (ies). For DHCP Service resource the dependencies are physical disk and IP address.
MCSE Clustering Using Advance Server 2000, pages 53-54.
QUESTION 26 You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. Two domain
controllers are configured as cluster nodes. On the cluster storage
subsystem, you create a folder structure to store user's files Part of the folder structure on the cluster storage
subsystem is shown in the exhibit.
All of the administrators need access to the files in F:\Data\Admins. The other folders within the Data folder
contain individual user's files.
You create a new resource group named Files. You create two new File Share resources within the Files group
and configure them as shown in the following table:
NTFS permissions control the access to each user folder.
The CLUSTER Administrator indicates that the new File Share resources seem to come online. However, the
System event log includes an error message stating that
the Admin file Share resource did not start successfully.
You want to ensure that the Admin files resources starts successfully.
What should you do?
A. Configure the Admin Files resource to be independent on the User Files resource.
B. Move the Admins File resource to a different resource group from the User File resource.
C. Move the Admins folder to a location outside the Data folder. Configure the Admin Files resource to use this
new location.
D. Remove the permissions for the Administrators group. Configure the Admin File resource to grant
permissions to the Domain Admins group.
Answer: C
Explanation: A conflict was created when User Files resource was granted the ability to share subdirectories but
no share permissions the Admins subfolder. This is why the
Admins folders needs to moved outside the Data folder.
Incorrect answers:
A. The problem is with the share permissions and not with the dependencies of the resources. This would not
solve the problem.
B. The problem lies in the location of the Admin folder and the associated permissions.
Moving the Admin File will not solve the error.
D. Without their permissions the Administrators group would not be able to perform their functions.

You want to ensure that the Alpha service is stopped every morning from 8:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. What should
you do?
A. Schedule the net stop Vserver command and the net start Vserver command.
B. Schedule the cluster res Alpha/fail command and the cluster res Alpha/Resume command.
C. Schedule the cluster res Alpha/offline command and the cluster res Alpha/online command.
D. Schedule the cluster res Alpha/prop Persistent State=0 command and the cluster res Alpha/pop
PrsistentState=1 command.
Answer: C
Explanation: To configure options on a resource in a cluster a specific syntax must be used. Various options of
this syntax do different things. To bring a resource offline you
use the /offline option and to bring a resource online you would use the /online option.
Incorrect answers:
A. There is no such command in relation to cluster resources.
B. The /fail option will initiate a resource failure and not take it offline like you require.
There is no /resume option for cluster resources.
D. There is no such option as PresistentState in relation to cluster resources.

For Disk group1, create Network Name resources that have unique names.
For Disk group2, create Network Name resources that have unique names.
Change the IP Addresses on the old servers.
Answer: B
Explanation: To ensure that users can still use their old settings with the new Server cluster it is important that
the new disk groups IP Addresses resource and Network Name resources use the original server name. Then the
old servers need to be renamed.
Incorrect answers:
A. To ensure that the file service is highly available you must create at least 2 disk groups and not just provide
the Cluster group with 10 IP address resources and 10
Network Name resources.
C. To ensure there are no problems with the new cluster, the old servers we need to be renamed and not just
have their IP addresses changed.

QUESTION 4 You are the Cluster Administrator for your company. You need to create a new cluster. First,
you install and configure the cluster storage. Next, you configure two network adapters each in two Windows
2000 Advanced Server computers named Server1 and Server2. Server1 and Server2 are member servers in
Windows 2000 domain and will be configured as cluster nodes.
On Server1, you create a local cluster named Cluster Account. You enable the User cannot change password
option. You place the Cluster Account user in the
Administrators group. You assign the necessary rights to the Cluster Account user. You install the Cluster
service on Server1. You specify the Cluster Account user as
the account under which the Cluster service will run. You install the Cluster service on Server2, specifying the
same user name and password as you did for Server1.
You receive an error message stating that the Server cannot join the cluster. You want to ensure that Server2
can join the cluster.
What should you do?
A. For the Cluster Account user on Server1, enable the Password never expires option.
B. Create a domain user under which the Cluster service will run on Server1 and Server2.
C. For the Cluster Account user on Server1, disable the User cannot change password option.
D. Add the Cluster Account user on Server1 to the Administrators group on Server2. On Server2, assign the
necessary rights to the Cluster Account.
Answer: B
Explanation: In order of Cluster Service to run it requires a domain user account under which the Cluster
Service can run. In this question the Cluster account was created as a local account and not a domain account.
Incorrect answers:
A. It is recommended that the Password never expires option is selected but it is not required. When you do no
select this option you must ensure that you renew the
password and update the cluster service configuration on each node before the passwords expires.
C. Microsoft recommends that the Cluster user account have the User cannot change password selected.
D. The Cluster user account must be a domain user account. Adding the Cluster Account user on Server1 to the
Administrators group on Server2. On Server2, assign the
necessary rights to the Cluster Account will not correct the problem.

QUESTION 5 You are the administrator of Windows 2000 Advanced Server computer. You need to prepare
the Server for use as a cluster node. The Server contains a SCSI controller and three internal 4.3 GB hard disks.
You plan to attach the Server to an external storage subsystem that contains eight 18.3-GB hard disks. You
connect the three 4.3-GB hard disks to the SCSI controller's internal connector. Next, you connect the external
storage subsystem to the SCSI controller's external connector. When you start the Server, you receive numerous
BIOS error messages that indicate errors on the SCSI bus.
Before installing the Cluster service, you need to be able to access the internal and external disks attached to the
Server.
What should you do?
A. Replace the SCSI controller.
B. Replace the external SCSI cable.
C. Set the SCSI ID to 6.
D. Install an additional SCSI controller in the Server.
Connect the external drive array to the new controller's external connector.
E. Disable the on-board SCSI termination on the SCSI controller.
F. Connect a SCSI terminator to the SCSI-out connector on the external storage subsystem.
Answer: D
Explanation: When you use SCSI hardware in a cluster there is a requirement for two SCSI adapter cards. One
card for the internal disks and one for the external disk
Incorrect answers:
A. If you replaced the SCSI controller and still connect internal and external drives the same problem will still
exist.
B. As the errors are in the BIOS the problem could not be related to the external SCSI cable.
C. Each SCSI device will require it's own SCSI ID and changing just one of them will not achieve the desired
result.
E. The on-board SCSI termination on the SCSI controller only needs to be disabled when you terminate
externally.
F. As the errors are in the BIOS the problem could not be corrected by connecting an external SCSI terminator.

QUESTION 6 You are the cluster administrator for your company. You need to configure the two Windows
2000 Advanced Server computers for cluster nodes. You need to implement fault-tolerance methods for the
local storage. You also need to implement fault-tolerance methods for the external storage subsystem.
Each Server contains two 9.3 GB hard disks. The external storage subsystem contains eight 10-GB hard disks.
You need to ensure that the cluster can tolerate the failure of a single hard disk in either Server and in the
external storage subsystem.
Which two fault-tolerance methods should you use?
A. Configure the hard disks in each Server as Windows 2000 striped volumes.
B. Configure the hard disks in each Server as Windows 2000 RAID 5 volumes.
C. Configure the hard disks in each Server as Windows 2000 mirrored volumes.
D. Configure the hard disks in the external storage subsystem to use a hardware RAID 5 array.
E. Configure the hard disks in the external storage subsystem as Windows 2000 striped volumes.
F. Configure the hard disks in the external storage subsystem as Windows 2000 RAID 5 volumes.
Answer: C, D
Explanation: In order to provide fault tolerance to the internal disk drives they will need to be configured as
mirrored volumes. With mirrored volumes when data is saved it is written on both drives. To offer the best fault
tolerance to the external storages device RAID 5 is the best but this is done at the expense of performance.
Incorrect answers:
A. Stripped volumes do not provide fault tolerance.
B. RAID 5 requires at least 3 disks to function. There are only two internal disks.
E. Clustering service does not support the software implementation of RAID. RAID needs to be implemented at
the hardware level.
F. Clustering service does not support the software implementation of RAID. RAID needs to be implemented at
the hardware level.

QUESTION 7 You are the administrator of two Windows 2000 Advanced Server computers named Server1
and Server2. You install two network adapters in each Server and then connect them as shown in the following
diagram.
You turn off Server2 and begin installing the Cluster service on server1. In the Cluster service Configuration
wizard, you designate Client access only for Adapter 1B. the wizard does not allow you to configure Adapter
1A, however. You verify that the crossover cable between Adapter 1A and Adapter 2A is connected properly.
You need to designate Internal cluster communications only for Adapter 1A.
What should you do?
A. Start Server2, and enter the BIOS setup screen.
Run the Cluster Service Configuration Wizard on Server1.
Designate Adapter 1A for Internal cluster communications only.
B. Start Server2, and start Windows 2000 Advanced Server, but do not log on.
Run the Cluster Service Configuration Wizard on Server1.
Designate Adapter 1A for Internal cluster communications only.
C. Disconnect crossover cable from Adapter 1A.
Run the Cluster Service Configuration Wizard on Server1.
Designate Adapter 1A for Internal cluster communications only.
Connect the crossover cable to Adapter 1A.
D. Disconnect crossover cable from Adapter 1A.
Run the Cluster Service Configuration Wizard on Server1.
Designate Adapter 1A for All communications.
Connect the crossover cable to Adapter 1A.
Use the Cluster administrator to designate Adapter 1A for Internal cluster communications only.
Answer: A
Explanation: As a Windows 2000 Media sense prevents you from configuring Adapter 1A. There are two ways
to resolve this problem: during the cluster installation, the other node must be booted but stopped at the Boot
menu so that there is power to the network adapter but it does not have write access to the shared disks or edit
the registry.
Incorrect answers:
B. Server 2 had to be stopped at the boot menu. By allowing Server 2 to boot fully you are likely causing more
problems and not fixing any.
C. Even with the crossover cable disconnected, Media sense will consider the adapter down. Therefore you will
not be able to configure it.
D. Even with the crossover cable disconnected, Media sense will consider the adapter down. Therefore you will
not be able to configure it.

QUESTION 9 You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. The cluster consists of
two nodes that are designated NodeA and NodeB. You configure several groups and resources, but you cannot
bring any of the Network Name resources online.
Windows 2000 is installed in the default location on both NodeA and NodeB, and the Quorum resource is
located on logical drive Q in the default path. You attempt to
view the log of cluster activity, but the log does not appear. You want to be able to review as much detail of the
cluster activity as possible so that you can identify the problem.
What should you do?
A. Increase the size of quorum log.
B. Increase the size of the System event log.
C. Configure the Application event log to not overwrite events.
D. On both nodes, configure a system environment variable named Cluster Log with a value of
C:\winnt\cluster\cluster.log.
Answer: A
Explanation: By default, the Quorum log file size is set to 64 KB. When the log is full it is reset. By increasing
the log file on one node, it will automatically take effect on the
other node.
Incorrect answers:
B. The System event log does not contain a copy of the Quorum log file nor does it contain cluster activity. This
will not allow you to see as much detail as possible of the
cluster activity.
C. The Application event log cannot overwrite cluster activity.
D. The cluster log is enabled by default and could not be causing the problem.

You want to accomplish the following goals:
Backup the 80-GB cluster storage subsystem to a single tape daily.
Complete the backup even if a single node of the cluster fails.
Backup the cluster information databases on NodeA and NodeB daily.
Your company uses 100-GB tape drives and 30-GB tape drives. You need to decide which tape drive you will
use for the backups. You need to use the smallest possible
tape drives for NodeA, NodeB and BackupSvr. You can attach up to two tape drives to each Server.
To answer click the Select and Place button. Drag the appropriate tape drives to appropriate answers.
Answer:
Explanation: As the cluster information databases on NodeA and NodeB will not be that large a 30 GB tape
drive will suffice. Each node requires its own tape drive in case one of the nodes fails. In addition, in order to
backup the 80 GB cluster storage subsystem to one tape then the 100 GB tape drive is required.

QUESTION 14 You are the Cluster Administrator for your company. You need to create a cluster that consists
of two Windows 2000 Advanced Server computers that are designated NodeA and NodeB. Your network
infrastructure includes Windows 2000 WINS servers, Windows 2000 DNS servers that have dynamic updates
enabled for all zones and Windows 2000 DHCP servers that have client DNS registration enabled. Client
computers in the network include Windows 2000 computers, Windows NT Workstation 4.0 computers and
Windows 95 computers. These client computers are dispersed over multiple subnets. All of the client computers
receive DNS and WINS Server assignments by using DHCP and do not require additional manual
configuration. All of the Administrators on the network use Windows 2000 client
computers. You want the cluster to provide high availability for a cluster-aware Windows sockets application
and for file shares.
For each service you configure a resource group that contains a Network Name resource. You manually
configure the IP address, the subnet mask and the default gateway TCP/IP properties on NodeA and NodeB.
You install the cluster service on NodeA and NodeB. After the installation, none of the users can connect to any
of the virtual servers by name. You want to accomplish the following goals regardless of which node owns the
resources.
Provide the ability to administer the cluster remotely by using the cluster name.
Enable all of the users to access the Windows sockets application by using a virtual Server name.
Enable all of the users to access file shares by using a virtual Server name.
Provide the ability to dynamically register the virtual Server names.
You take the following actions.
Configure NodeA as a WINS client computer.

QUESTION 15 You are the Cluster Administrator for your company. You need to install the Cluster service on
two servers named Server1 and Server2. Both servers have one network adapter that is attached to the company
LAN and a second network adapter that is attached to a private cluster network, as shown in the exhibit. (Click
the exhibit button.)
During the installation of cluster service on S rver1, you provide an IP address for the cluster and receive the
following error message:
How should you configure the IP address for the cluster?
A. Configure the IP address for the cluster to be 127.0.0.1.
B. Configure the Server1 and Server2 to be DHCP client computers prior to cluster installation.
C. Configure the IP address for the cluster to be unique IP address on the 10.0.5.0 subnet.
D. Configure the IP address for the cluster to be a unique IP address on the 192.168.5.0 subnet.
Answer: D
Explanation: It is very important that the cluster receive a unique IP address. As you were configuring an IP
address for the cluster it can be assumed that you were configuring the Public Cluster Connection. As this is the
Public Cluster Connection, it will require a public IP address. Therefore, the IP address should be in the
192.168.5.0 subnet.
Incorrect answers:
A. This is the IP address of the local loop back. It cannot be used as a valid IP address.
B. It is highly recommended that a cluster have a static IP address. DHCP servers are not a valid solution.
C. The public cluster connection should not have a private IP address.

QUESTION 16 You are the Cluster Administrator for your company. You create a file and print cluster. The
cluster contains two nodes that are designated NodeA and NodeB. Both nodes are directly connected to a SCSI
storage enclosure.
The cluster is configured to have five disk groups. All five-disk groups are online on NodeA, and none of the
disk groups have errors. You decide to test failover. When
you shut down NodeA, you cannot access the cluster storage form NodeB. You want to ensure that you can
access the cluster storage from one node when the other node is shut down.
What should you do?
A. Enable passive termination on the SCSI bus.
B. Configure all of the cluster groups to allow immediate failback.
C. Attach a Y cable and a terminator to the SCSI adapter in each node.
D. Attach a Y cable and a terminator to each SCSI storage enclosure connection.
Answer: C
Explanation: As with as SCSI devices it is important to ensure that each end of the SCSI chain. In this case it
would be best to attach a Y cable to each adapter. One part of the cable would attach to the device and the other
would be terminated. This would ensure access to the cluster storage from one node when the other node is
down.
Incorrect answers:
A. Passive termination would achieve the desired effect.
B. Failback would not allow access to the storage devices without proper termination.
D. The termination must be off the SCSI adapter on each node.

QUESTION 17 You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. The cluster nodes are
two member servers that are designated NodeA and NodeB. The cluster hosts an application named Invoice that
is used by the finance department. Invoice runs on a virtual Server named InvServer.
The Generic Application resource for Invoice is a member of a resource group named Invoice Group. The
resources in the Invoice Group and their dependencies are shown in the following table:
The Admin Share resource is used only once per week, to perform backup of the invoice data files. Currently,
the Invoice application fails over when the Admin share resource is not available or when the Admin Share
resource fails.
You need to configure the resources in the Invoice Group so that invoice will remain on the same node when
the Admin Share resource is not available or when the
Admin Share resource fails.
What two actions should you take? (Choose Two)
A. On the Admin Share resource, set the restart threshold to 0.
B. On the Admin Share resource, disable the Affect the group option.
C. Configure the Administrator Share resource to run in a separate resource monitor.
D. Remove the Admin Share resource from the Invoice App resource dependencies list.
E. Run cluster.exe to set the RetryPeriodOnFailure value of the Invoice App resource lower than the Restart
Period value.
Answer: B, C
Explanation: As you need to configure the group to remain on the same node when the Admin Share is not
available/fails you will need to take two actions. To prevent the
Admin share failure from affecting the group you will need to deselect the Affect the group option. To prevent
one resource from affecting the resources in the group is to
provide that resource with its own resource monitor.
Incorrect answers:
A. The threshold setting is the number of times a resource can be restarted within the specified period. By
setting the threshold to 0 it means that if the resource fails it will
never be restarted and failover immediately.
D. As the Admin Share is required once a week for data backup you should not remove it as a dependency.
E. The RetryPeriodOnFailure is the amount of time that a resource can be failed before it is restarted. The
Restart Period is the amount of time a restart will be attempted. The action suggested above will not achieve the
desired results.

Enable resources to automatically move back to the original owner node after failover.
Ensure that the network backup of cluster storage will not fail when the original owner node comes back online
after failover.
You take the following actions:
Configure NodeA as the preferred owner for the File Service group and the Print Service group.
Configure NodeB as the preferred owner for the Web Service group.
Configure the failback settings for the Web Service, File Service and Print Service to allow failback at all times
exception from 12:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M.
Which result or results do these actions produce? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Failover is provided for resources.
B. Web, file and print services can be statically load balanced.
C. Resources automatically move back to the original owner node after failover.
D. The network backup of cluster storage will not fail when the original owner node comes back online after
failover.
Answer: A, B, D
Explanation: Through your actions you have been able to provide for failover, load balancing, and preventing
the failure of network backup.
Incorrect answers:
C. The resources will automatically move back to the original owner node after failover except during a
specified period 12:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M..

QUESTION 19 You are the administrator of two new computers. You need to configure the computers before
installing Windows 2000 Advanced Server and the Cluster service. You install a new SCSI controller in each
computer. You connect both controllers to an external disk array, which will serve as the cluster storage. The
external disk array contains three hard disks. You start both servers and receive a BIOS message on each
Server. The error message indicates that a device conflict has been detected on the SCSI bus. You need to
correct this error.
What should you do?
A. Change the SCSI ID to 0 on all three hard disks.
B. Change the SCSI ID on one of the SCSI controllers.
C. Add a SCSI bus terminator to the connector on the external disk array.
D. Add a SCSI bus terminator to the connectors on both SCSI controllers.
Answer: B
Explanation: Whenever a SCSI devices are installed their controllers have a default SCSI ID of 7. This would
cause the SCSI device conflict. To correct this conflict you
would need to change the SCSI ID on one of the controllers to something else, such as SCSI ID 6.
Incorrect answers:
A. Changing the SCSI ID on all three hard disk would also cause a conflict.
C. Adding a terminator to the external disk array would not cause the SCSI ID to end.
You would still receive a conflict message.
D. Adding a terminator to the SCSI connectors would not solve the SCSI ID conflict.
You would still receive a conflict message.

QUESTION 20 You are the administrator of two Windows 2000 Advanced Server computers named Server1
and Server2. You need to configure these servers for use as cluster nodes.
Each Server contains two network adapters. Adapter1A and Adapter2A will be designated for Internal cluster
communications only. Adapter1B and Adapter2B
will be designated for All communications.
You need to connect the network adapter so that they provide dedicated network connectivity for internal
cluster communications. You also want to avoid having a single point of failure in the internal cluster
communications.
How should you connect the network adapters?
To answer click the appropriate network diagram in the exhibit.
Answer: DIAGRAM D
Explanation: One of the keys to this question is the fact that Adapter 1B and 2B are designated for all
communications. Thus these adapters must be connected to the
Company LAN. Adapters 1A and 2A need to be connected directly to each other, in this case with a stand-alone
hub.
Incorrect answers:
Diagram A - As Adapters 1B and 2B are designated for all communications a crossover cable will not achieve
this.
Diagram B - As Adapters 1B and 2B are designated for all communications a stand-alone hub will not achieve
this.
Diagram C - As all adapters are connected to Company LAN this diagram does not meet the requirement of a
single point of failure in internal cluster communications.

A. Reinitialize the Fiber Channel hub.
B. Reinitialize the cluster storage subsystem.
C. Shut down both nodes, the cluster storage subsystem, and the Fiber Channel hub.
Start the Fiber Channel hub and the cluster storage subsystem.
Start both nodes.
D. Shut down both nodes, the cluster storage subsystem, and the Fiber Channel hub.
Start the Fiber Channel hub and both nodes.
Start the cluster storage subsystem.
Answer: C
Explanation: It is important to bring a cluster's resources online before the nodes. As a result, the hub and
storage subsystem will need to be brought back online first and then the nodes.
Incorrect answers:
A. The reinitialization of the hub alone will not ensure that the servers can access the cluster storage.
B. The reinitialization of the cluster storage subsystem alone will not ensure that the servers can access the
cluster storage.
D. Remember the nodes should be restarted after the cluster storage subsystem.

QUESTION 24 You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. The cluster contains
1,200 file share resources for the home directories of 1,200 users. The name of each file share is the same as the
name of the corresponding home folder. You notice that the cluster service software constantly uses an
unusually high percentage of processing time. You want the cluster service to use less processing time.
What should you do?
A. Use the net.exe command line utility to change each share to a hidden share.
B. Create a new file share resource, and share all of the home folders as subdirectories.
C. Use the cluster.exe command line utility to run each file share resource in a separate resource monitor.
D. Configure the "Is Alive" poll interval of the file share resource type to be equal to the "Look Alive" poll
interval
Answer: B
Explanation: In order to reduce the processing time you should create a file share resource and then share all of
the home folders as subdirectories.
Incorrect answers:
A. Creating hidden shares will not reduce the processing time.
C. You can use the cluster command to do a number of things but running each file share in a separate resource
monitor and have this reduce the processing time is not one of them.
D. Making the "Is alive" poll interval equal to that of "Look Alive" poll interval will not reduce the processing
time.

QUESTION 25 You are the administrator of an existing Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. You want to
add a DHCP Service resource to the cluster. Currently, the cluster uses two of the three available disks. On the
unused disk, you create a new resource group named DHCP Resource to be used by the DHCP Service. You
want to add the DHCP Service resource and its required dependencies to the cluster.
What should you do?
To answer click the Select and Place button and then drag the appropriate resources to the dependency tree in
the correct order. Some resources and slots might not be used. Some resources might be used more than once.
Select and Place
Answer:
Explanation: Dependencies are created when one resource relies on other resources for functionality. If any
resource should fail, so will any resource that depends on the failed resource. Each resource type has its own
dependency (ies). For DHCP Service resource the dependencies are physical disk and IP address.

QUESTION 26 You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Advanced Server cluster. Two domain
controllers are configured as cluster nodes. On the cluster storage
subsystem, you create a folder structure to store user's files Part of the folder structure on the cluster storage
subsystem is shown in the exhibit.
All of the administrators need access to the files in F:\Data\Admins. The other folders within the Data folder
contain individual user's files.
You create a new resource group named Files. You create two new File Share resources within the Files group
and configure them as shown in the following table:
NTFS permissions control the access to each user folder.
The CLUSTER Administrator indicates that the new File Share resources seem to come online. However, the
System event log includes an error message stating that
the Admin file Share resource did not start successfully.
You want to ensure that the Admin files resources starts successfully.
What should you do?
A. Configure the Admin Files resource to be independent on the User Files resource.
B. Move the Admins File resource to a different resource group from the User File resource.
C. Move the Admins folder to a location outside the Data folder. Configure the Admin Files resource to use this
new location.
D. Remove the permissions for the Administrators group. Configure the Admin File resource to grant
permissions to the Domain Admins group.
Answer: C
Explanation: A conflict was created when User Files resource was granted the ability to share subdirectories but
no share permissions the Admins subfolder. This is why the
Admins folders needs to moved outside the Data folder.
Incorrect answers:
A. The problem is with the share permissions and not with the dependencies of the resources. This would not
solve the problem.
B. The problem lies in the location of the Admin folder and the associated permissions.
Moving the Admin File will not solve the error.
D. Without their permissions the Administrators group would not be able to perform their functions.
